I was talking to a couple of people a few weeks ago and they told me, "I only believe what I see and feel and what science tells me".
I said, "science used to say that the Earth was flat, and the Bible said it was round". That usually stumps them every time.
And I show them the fallacy of they only, "believe what they can see". I tell them they had faith that when they came into our building today, they faithfully thought, through no proof, that the building would stand while they were in it. That they had faith, in a builder of the building, they have never met, to have designed and built a building that would stand when they always needed the building to stand. Faith in an unknown/unseen creator.
One guy said, but it was still standing and I said that the people in Haiti said the same thing the morning of the earthquake and found that their faith in the buildings standing while while they were in it, were not justified. And their faith in a building they could see, was misplaced.
They had no comeback. Not even weeks later.
I showed a woman in the group one of WOTM "good person" tracts, and she said, "at least I have not killed anyone". And I asked her if she was sure, because God's standard is that, if you hate someone, you have murdered them. She was shaken when I explained God's standards and how they were not human standards.
I plant seeds all the time.
